What have I been playing: pre-E3 Microsoft edition

Technically, I don't own a Microsoft console, so the closest is my macbook pro that lets me play a couple of ports of games for Windows.

After the announcement of Diablo III I decided to give diablo II a try, only to remember why I abandoned gaming on computers. After the latest OS X update, certain hardware configurations don't work with the latest diablo II patch. ARGH!

All the hope was then moved to Sim City 4... another mistake. This was a rushed port, never optimized for Mac OSX full of slowdowns.

Then Civilization 4 saved the day. It works perfectly, it is super addictive and has satisfied my needs for an awesome strategy game.

If I had to make a couple of predictions about MS this is what i'd say:

• Those leaked "avatars" (like Nintendo miis) become a reality
• Games for Windows fail to impress anybody
• Bungie shows off a Halo spin off (and possibly announce multi-platform development)
• LOTS of Gears of war 2
• Microsoft remote? Maybe... they've already copied the miis
• Killer Instinct 3? Dreaming is free

Viste qué bodrio el E3? Me pareció re aburrido, apostaba a una bomba de Nintendo tipo "Star Fox Wii", y nada :S Nada hardcore al menos (animal crossing no me parece hardcore). En fin, como andas che tanto tiempo? :P

Estoy medio quedado en el tiempo, no puedo comprar el Wii todavía, asi que sigo con el GameCube, conseguí hace una semana el Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix con la alfombra y todo, así que estoy dandole duro jeje, también terminando el Final Fantasy 6 Advance de GBA (me queda el último dungeon), y al DS lite no lo toco desde hace semanas!
